Send me your lightening cables.

In this project antitrust reform meets e-waste reduction meets the loom.

Over the next few years as your family stops needing lightening cables, instead of throwing them away, send them to the P.O. Box bellow along with a story about the ways lack of universal cables has caused challenges in your life.

As cables come in, I will weave them into a compilation of abstract wall hangings.

Background.

Starting December 28th, 2024, all new mobile phones in the EU must use USB-C cables for charging under Directive (EU) 2022/2380. Apple has begun phasing out lightening cables globally. This change means families and friends in the same house hold, workplace or out on a fun vacation can share chargers regardless of phone manufacture—creating ease for consumers, allowing easier market entry for new mobile devices and reducing e-waste.
